I hope Grizzly responds -<br><br>
Post what is essentail for you in winter for weather below 0F. It would be most helpful to also include a link to somewhere we can actually see the product.<br><br>
I want to get ready and stay off the TM this winter.<br><br>
I am usually OK for the 1st hour at any temp, but after that I struggle.<br><br>
I'm in a buying mood - I would appreciate any help

Neck gaiter is the most awesome accessory. I wore one last year, often coupled with a hat. When it got really cold, the gaiter came up over the head as well.<br><br>
1 pair of gloves and a pair of mittens for really cold days.<br>
1 pair of tights, pair of pants over top when needed.

Hmmm. Been wondering about this myself. I want to pick up some running pants, but I am short (5'-6"<img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> and everything I see is too long. If someone knows of a certain make\model that runs a little short, I would be a happy short runner.

Not sure about sub 0 degrees F.<br><br>
10F is my personal comfort threshold. Below 10F, I'm considering running inside. If outdoors in that weather, its two of everything. Tights, with a part of pants on top.<br><br>
Otherwise, I have no problems with 15+ temps. Tights, base layer, jacket, gloves, and hat.<br><br>
When its really, really cold, a pair of clear lens glasses helps avoid frozen tears in the eyes!

Last year when it went below 0 I wore the following:<br><br>
neck gaitor (which I pull down off of my mouth/nose once i warm up)<br>
wicking ski hat thingy<br>
thin wicking long sleeve<br>
thicker wicking moc turtleneck long sleeve<br>
thick fleece jacket<br>
running tights<br>
and if it was windy - these wind resistent running pant things<br>
I wear gloves initially but always take them off in a bit.<br><br>
Put vaseline or Eucerin Aquafor ointment on your face to avoid wind burn.

One thing I worked out last year that I really liked - I hate cold hands (which I get pretty easily) and I hate sweaty hands (ditto). So last year I went with the layered approach - one pair thin cotton gloves, or if colder, one pair knit mittens, topped with a pair of Outdoor Research waterproof mittens. The don't seem to sell the exact model anymore - but it did not come up over my forearm - just regular mitten length.<br><br>
Kept my hands comfortable and I could adjust layers as the conditions changed.

This thing from Under Armour is great in the winter. I normally pull another hat on over it...<br><br><img alt="" src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/mpfeiffer/UAColdGear.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

For tights I recommend the Sporthill brand XC pant made with their 3SP material. It's windproof as well as very warm. I wear them all winter long for running, skiing, snowshoeing, etc. I think they do make a petit in small and medium sizes. <a href="http://www.milemarkersports.com" target="_blank">www.milemarkersports.com</a>

Handy of you want to rob a bank as well.

The temperature outside goes below 0? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

I cleaned out all the closets and took a full inventory of winter running gear tonight - I have a ton of workable solutions by layering all effected areas.<br><br>
Roadie Gal - Nice link - I am a little short on higher tech stuff - So if I hit one of my goals by early December, I think i will treat myself to a top and bottom.

 

[Flounder]

BTW - I've had some of my most enjoyable runs on days -10F or colder when there is no wind and a fresh blanket of light fluffy snow -<br><br>
Bring it on old man winter.

I love my tights and long sleeve compression stuff. If it's under 0, I'll have those under some normals running pants, and on top have a running jacket or something. If it's really cold or I don't feel like layering I got these amazing thick Sporthill pants/tights...Might be what Roadie linked you too. Also got a really nice Patagonia running/racing jacket. It's not much but it's really dense material that keeps me very toasty. I also have the Under Armour Hood/mask which I use whenever there's wind. I'm looking at some of Nike and Under Armour's winter gloves right now instead of the cheap-o black ones or normal gloves. They are made from material familiar to my arctic tights.<br><br>
As to where to find all of this...my personal addiction.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
eBay!!! Within the last month I've bumped up my dad's rating by like 15 I think. Tehe...better start paying that debt off now. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

Yes I checked the site...I own the Summit tights and they are amazing. Hefty price tag too though...

 

[muzicgrl]

I am shorter than you (5'4"<img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> and I wear running pants often. My favorite pair is from title 9.

 

[wyrillco]

I'll have to look for a neck thing. My neck freezes when it's cold. It gets sweaty, and then cold. Brr...<br><br>
I run in tights with pants over them when it's cold. I just picked up a pair of addidas pants that were thicker, and I'm going to wear them over my tights. I got mine at Marshalls ($20).

 

[JackDuggan]

I WANT THIS!<br><br>
very cool<br><br>

 

[Buxtehude]

Where can you buy gaiters, in real life, not online?<br><br>
Sporting goods stores?<br>
Walmart?
